About
I believe that providing great service fosters meaningful and lasting rewards.
I am Jonathan Serrano, a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of experience. Born and raised in Houston, I am proud of my Mexican heritage and the values instilled in me through my culture and upbringing. I am passionate about guiding individuals who have taken the important first step of seeking therapy. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges that may feel overwhelming by creating a safe, supportive, and understanding space. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they rediscover strength, hope, and motivation to move forward.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston. My approach integrates evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique experiences. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and empowering, helping clients uncover resilience and build tools for lasting growth.
Whatever obstacles you face, there is always a way forward. Hope may sometimes feel out of reach, but together we can find it again. I invite you to take this journey with me so we can work toward building a life filled with purpose, balance, and renewed strength.

My go-to appraoche is guided imagery. This involves going to a “safe space”, wich is often effective for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and can be integrated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
I teach mindfulness with guided imagery and feeling decreased anxiety; sometimes with progressive relaxation as a way to center and help fall asleep.
When the client describes a feeling of calm and peace while using guided imagery.
Clients can supplement with aromatherapy and a sound machine.
Pick a place you have been when you felt totally at peace, and try to remember what it felt like using all 5 senses.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Pearland, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Pearland therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
At Thriveworks in Pearland, TX, we understand that your personal worries and fears are difficult to overcome. That’s why we offer comprehensive anxiety therapy.
